Sell me freedom from doubt That my family will manage When I’m not about. Don’t sell me insurance! Sell me clothing instead, And a home for my family, And butter and bread. Don’t sell me insurance! Sell me those college years That will give to my children The chance that is theirs. Don’t sell me insurance! Sell me fish pole and gun So I’ll spend my old age Not at work but at fun. Don’t sell me insurance — Please, don’t even try! But all of the others I’m anxious to buy. —Agents Bulletin, Atlantic Currents.

CORRECT ATTITUDE As long- as worry, fretting at people, little disappointments, gloomy thoughts crowd our minds, there is ho room for courage, cheerfulness, self-confidence and the good thoughts that will help us win. We cannot use the power and the personality that is in us as long as we block the door with a sour mental attitude. If we can’t be enthusiastic about our job and about life insurance, we can’t expect to motivate our prospects. Discouragement pays no dividends. These are critical days in which we live, and there is no room for discouraging influences of the wrong mental attitude. On Being Pestered By Agents How wrong, how tragically wrong, states R. and R., is the point of view of the prospect who impatiently exclaims: “I wish life insurance men wouldn’t pester me all the time!” Thank God, Mr. Prospect, that they are pestering you. The day the most life insurance men call on you should be one of the happiest days of your life. For it means you are in good health: otherwise they would not call. It means you are financially solrent, thrifty of mind and purpose; otherwise they would not call. It means you are sound morally; otherwise they would not call. It means they believe you are a good citizen anxious to play the game with your family and with society upon a high level; otherwise they would not call. The saddest day in your life will be the day when the life insurance men of your community give you the cold shoulder, when they pass you by, when your door nevei- opens to the man with the rate book. For if that day comes, it will mean that you are going to pieces physically. Or that you are going to pieces morally. Or that you are going to pieces financially. Be glad for every agent who calls on you — and make sure you do something about the problems they discuss, before they stop forever calling on you. If we are talking courage, optimism and a plan of life to our prospects, we must possess these things ourselves. The right mental attitude gives a man courage to do the day’s work, but if courage is gone, all goes with it. The man who will outline the things that would make him and his family happy, who will build a program to secure these things, will have the kind of mental attitude that will carry him to success.
